It was always a given that Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) would be in danger the moment Kim Tate (Claire King) arrived back in the village, but now things are at Defcon 1 as Kim appears to already be plotting his murder after the death of Joe Tate.

Kim arrived back in the village in a whirlwind, immediately forcing Graham (Andrew Scarborough) to drop everything to come and get her and then turning Cain’s life upside down when they bumped into each other as she suffered car trouble. She then rattled feathers by showing up in Woolpack demanding a drink despite Charity’s attempts to bar her.

As Debbie (Charley Webb) arrived, Kim took the opportunity to taunt her about her dead fiance Joe Tate, giving Cain a little clue that he might not be safe.

Later, as she and Graham sat in the car, Graham revealed the truth about the circumstances surrounding Joe’s death.

‘Clever move pinning Joe’s murder on Cain,’ Kim told him as they watched Cain walk past. He then explained Cain had done the killing and he’d simply moved the body.

‘He killed him before I had the chance,’ he said. As the realisation sunk in with Kim, she realised what this meant – she’d need to get rid of Cain too as he knows too much and holds the key to her undoing.

‘This is too messy. There’s no way Cain is dragging us down with him. He needs silencing,’ she warned Graham and thus the pair will begin plotting Cain’s murder.

But Graham is clearly still lying to Kim because viewers know Joe’s finger twitched after Cain supposedly killed him. It led to speculation that Joe is still alive and if he is, it would appear even Kim doesn’t know about it. Why not?

Or it means Graham really was the one to kill Joe, having possibly offed him as he put him in the ground. Could this mean Cain is innocent but Graham is lying to save himself from being stuck in Kim Tate’s hold?
